The Belarusian-born Arlovski fought in Russia for the first time since 2000.

The three-round fight was largely a standup affair, and Arlovski was often the aggressor and landed a few more punches and kicks. He also scored a few takedowns, though both competitors faded a bit and became flatfooted as the fight wore on. Hayes put together some sustained attacks in the third, but Arlovski quickly countered with a series of left hands.

Ultimately, Arlovski got the victory via unanimous decision.

Two years ago, the 33-year-old Arlovski closed out his Strikeforce career on the heels of a four-fight losing streak, which included defeats to the likes of Sergei Kharitonov, Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva and Fedor Emelianenko. However, he’s undefeated since then with four wins and a no-contest (Arlovski hit Tim Sylvia with an illegal kick at ONE FC 5).

Hayes, meanwhile, has suffered back-to-back losses since a 10-1 run that included winning the Cage Warriors heavyweight title. Back in June, he lost the belt to D.J. Linderman.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
